Katharina Fritsch

Katharina Fritsch is a German sculptor who lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany.

She studied at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art and became known for her iconic and unusual sculptures and installations.

Fritsch's work often evokes disturbing religious or quasi-spiritual associations and is deeply psychological, as if she were trying to give an image to our deepest fears, extracted from the world of myth, religion, cultural history and everyday life. One of her most impressive works, Rat King (1993), is a circle of sixteen giant rats, each nearly ten feet tall, with their tails tied in a massive knot in the center.
